Expiring EEG subsidies for photovoltaic systems in agriculture - producing hydrogen.

As a result of the expiry of EEG subsidies from 2024 for numerous photovoltaic systems in the agricultural sector, the challenge is to market the energy generated efficiently. Feeding energy into the supply grid often only achieves low prices per kilowatt hour, which is why utilising your own electricity is seen as an advantageous way of counteracting rising energy costs. Given the demand for energy in the evening and at night, temporarily stored renewable energy is becoming a crucial resource. We offer both battery storage and hydrogen energy storage as possible solutions. In addition, hydrogen-powered agricultural vehicles that can be supplied with self-produced hydrogen are becoming increasingly important. We would be happy to provide you with advice.
With the expiry of the EEG subsidy from 2024 for many agricultural PV systems, the question of efficient marketing arises. Utilising your own electricity offers a better alternative to feeding it into the grid. The temporarily stored renewable energy can be optimised through battery or hydrogen storage. Our solutions include both options. In addition, more and more hydrogen-powered agricultural vehicles are being offered that can be supplied with self-produced hydrogen. Contact us for a consultation

Logistical coordination

MSR-Innovations coordinates the components of a plant and the underlying logistical coordination measures during the implementation phase as a planning partner. This includes the organization in terms of time and place as well as the planning of access routes and checking building accessibility.

Approval process

We understand the complexities involved in the permitting process for hydrogen projects and pride ourselves on being able to successfully overcome these challenges.

Component compatibility

The complexity of an energy system for storing electricity and hydrogen is high. We work with a large number of manufacturers for various components in order to develop an optimal overall system from the best individual modules on the market. The interfaces of the different units pose a challenge, which we can effectively solve with the integration of the higher-level energy management system.
